July 26, 2009 - Mila Kunis is in talks to star opposite Natalie Portman in Darren Aronofsky's supernatural drama Black Swan, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Black Swan centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer (Kunis), with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it's unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.

Black Swan is set to begin shooting in the fall in New York.

Hmm, not sure from just the plot summary, but it's Aronofsky, it's Portman, and now it's Kunis. Sold! Coming soon to a limited screen, near you.

Seriously though, amazingly talented director, yet none of his films seem to get much of a wide release. Hearing his name attached to a project, can't help but be interested.

“Nudity is something absolutely natural and I’m not prudish — but in a film it can be distracting,” she said. “Doing Black Swan I couldn’t say no. The project is a huge opportunity for me to show a new me. I can’t always play the nice mothers."

Some douchebag critic from Slant Magazine reviewed this movie on Rotten Tomatoes and name dropped another certain film in his blurb and really has me upset. I'm going to include the movie in one spoiler tag, and why I feel it ruined it in another. Read at your own risk.

From what I can remember, she knows people in reality and imagines them as someone other than who they really are in her own imaginary world. I've been anticipating this movie quite some time now, but if it turns out I'm walking right into the film and know exactly what's going on because this prick name dropped Mulholland Dr, I'm going to be pisssseddddd
